I just came out of detector hibernation 12 hours ago, dam you Minelab😆

i use this scoop on the Mississippi river.  http://www.rtgstore.com/rtgaluminumscoops.htm

Here is another version of our 6” aluminum water scoop. This scoop is the same as our RTGBB6 scoop with an added stainless steel tip on the end of the scoop. The tip is made of 16 gauge non-magnetic stainless steel. This lightweight shallow water and beach scoop has 5/8" diameter holes punched into the sides and the back of the scoop. The aluminum bucket of the sand scoop is 6 " in diameter by 11" long. The aluminum 1-1/4" diameter handle is welded to the top at a 20 degree angle so you can use your foot on the back of this scoop to push it into the sand. There is a T-top reinforced aluminum brace to give this scoop extra durability. The handle is 40" long giving the scoop an overall length of approximately 48". The handle has a rubber hand grip for comfort. Made in the U.S.A. by Reilly's Treasured Gold. This is an excellent choice for a long handle scoop. We offer a 90 day limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

For what i do the 35 is pretty good. And the discrimination came in handy at the county fair when my wife lost an earring getting out of the truck.  I came back later and found it among bits of iron tie wire in the grass.  What i don't like is having to look at it to get hand orientation right plus it just seems big.

I'd call it pink granite

Any way they could reduce the ID range with a upgrade?  Or would that be a down grade😊  I've been holding out to see how the new batch preforms, maybe next year🙄 now i feel like a cubs fan.

It looks to me to be a larger than usual oil lamp wick adjuster.  Kerosene stove perhaps.

 Harper Beatrice 33 Boiling Stove wick holder or something close to it.

Yeah,  be nice to know if its something you need to watch for. 

had both but think the carrot is better built. The M/L35 is too big for most after market pouches and the speaker gets clogged up with grit.  Slap it in my palm, works every time so far.  But i sold the carrot, i like the 35 on vibrate and just like it better.

great coil and good in the river too.

picked out tiny silver cut coins basically under big power lines.  Cant believe the EMI improvement over the EQ series.

Ted Williams was on a lot of our outdoor gear, Dad loved sears.   I thought Ted was some kind of great white hunter  Dead ringer for a coinmaster and looks like new, cool.

I thought the E800 was a "chirpy" motha!

Health and life has turned me into a dabbler at most so infrequent is a understatement  I feel the same way until i get with the plan, ground balance is a must for some areas i go but noise canceling is a must do and do often plus lowering sensitivity will still get good depth.  Iron infested ground i just lower iron volume as i like to hear what's going on.  If you turn iron off you have a super quiet above average detector but your not playing with a full deck

I also never use the headphones as I almost always hunt in remote locations away from any humans, If you need a second machine I would go with the 900 but if you are looking for an upgrade over a 800 I think it will be minimal. 

Yeah a manti-lite at about $1100 would be on my wish list😉

never got an answer about USA plans but but if they build them on a small scale probably have they're hands full. Around $804 US or 630 pounds, but no headphones at that price.

Adjust from 0 to 12 and make false detections a thing of the past.

Didn't watch it yet but that's a heck pf a promise, their line about the EQ making all others obsolete comes to mind.  This would be a competition killer.

Didn't think it had compression but the spark plug is loose so might be a runner. cant access pics but think the brand is excello.  Excellos were made in Springfield IL and this is model 518 by heineke and Co.

Helped a buddy load some scrap and found these axle caps and a brass leash clip that will be my new key ring. Then I couldn't see scraping this mower yet. 

He was always saying how little he understood about how detectors worked when he started out, maybe still does.  i spent too much time watching detecting vids the last year or so due to health issues.  I still like watching him beach detecting and just generally like the guy .  He's so hyped up with enthusiasm and he is good or dang lucky cuz his swing looks like Zorro on a rampage😄  I don't see uncle fester, more Rodney Dangerfield!  

Great response by Low & Slow.  

Phycologists could use some of these youtube channels for training vids showing the progression of a few disorders 

Looks like headphones are not included.  I emailed Rutus if they plan on selling in north america last week but no answer.  Is this a 2D display like deus2 or manticore?

There are so many options lately and back and forth on different aspects of the new units that i think it best for me to wait a few months more.  I want a glitch free detector that's not a pain to navigate the settings.  Then the money🙄, retiring and a bad knee replacement has me financially embarrassed for a while.  My no.1 pick would be the manticore, then EQ 9 or 700, and then the legend at the moment.  

They still make them, i found mine in a scrap pile.  made by henfeathers, awesome for planting.
